Pros

Salary Office activities Working hours Young and smart people

Cons

Company strategy is not aligned with operations. Key management lacks people management, are distroying are blocking innovative culture. Overall respected and experienced COO left after 7 months (June 2018). Strong identity crisis on consulting ambitions. Vague vision no clear strategy and operational foundation to scale up. Higher sales management shares detailed personal feedback on Sales Development junior with entire company, after he left the office at his last day. To make a statement to cover up lacking sales results by failing sales strategy. Time to market is high. Development has no capacity to develop platform integrations which are promised to clients. Which is even a brand promise. Instead workarounds are being created to pamper the client however those workarounds are risky and not scalable. Most distinguishing plarform features as journey building and AI which are being sold as ready but aren't. Some sales persons are aggressive or even mean in giving feedback to others. Or making so much noise to expose themselves day by day that others around them can't work properly. I was politely asked by middle management not to share my insights on glass door. But at a company where so many people are unhappy and disappointed and given a huge resource turnover I felt I need to. Freedom of speech.

Pros

Relay42 is a great place to work. Everyone is great and supportive, and they make you feel part of the team from the very beginning. As for the internship itself, you learn a lot about privacy and compliance as you are involved in different tasks from the beginning which helps you to understand how everything works in practice. Also, you often get to interact with people from different departments which makes everything much more interesting. All in all, a very positive experience!

Cons

The only con I can think of is that it is not always clear whether there will be opportunities to stay or not once the internship is over. But even then they are transparent about it and willing to help.
